Will Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Be a “Final Triumph”?

When one of the characters in a major franchise suggests that this wacky dangerous outing, really, this last one, will be a “final triumph,” one does have to wonder if they mean it. That’s what Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) says to Indy (Harrison Ford) in this new trailer. It’s the classic one-last-heist, but for adventure!

In case you forgot about it from the last trailer, Indiana Jones rides a horse in the New York City subway system in this movie. (Please don’t hurt the horse!) No summary is provided, but it seems pretty clear that there is a magic dial, and that Indy and Helena need to get their hands on it, lest Mads Mikkelsen get to it first, as he would like to use it to wreak utter havoc on the world.

There are callbacks and references and at the very least, everyone seems to be having a pretty good time, even when they’re falling out of burning airplanes. John Rhys-Davies, Antonio Banderas, Boyd Holbrook, Toby Jones, and Shaunette Renee Wilson co-star.

The film is directed by James Mangold, who co-wrote the screenplay with the incredibly named Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth. The score, of course, is by John Williams.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny tumbles into theaters on June 30th.
